Frontend Engineer

As a technology and data driven business, our client recognise the key role outstanding engineers play in helping them achieve their vision; and as a result, they are continuing their expansion and investment in their world-class Engineering function.

Collaborating with colleagues from across the company you will play a key role in helping to define the scope, architecture and implementation details of projects at all levels and have a real impact on the commercial outcomes and ultimate success of each project.

They value developers who are proactive and react swiftly, so you will contribute to the live code that underpins the business from your very first day. At stand-up you will meet the team and the product stakeholders, take ownership of your first task and begin to provide your solutions.

You can expect to be fully involved in the team from the start, including participating in code reviews and daily stand-ups. You will provide insight into the delivery of current and upcoming team tasks. By the end of your first week you will have submitted your first pull request, successfully passed the code review process and put your first changes into production.

What Success Looks Like:

From day one, you will commit production-ready and tested changes to the codebase, creating pull requests for your work and having them peer reviewed, before deploying the changes to the live systems.

You will participate in daily stand-ups, clearly and effectively communicating your ideas and the status of your own tasks to the rest of your team.

You will assist with the discovery and prioritisation of new work, and take ownership of appropriate tasks, seeing them through to delivery.

You will create massive business value by understanding what the different areas of the business do, what the impact of your work will be to each of those areas, and then focusing and delivering quickly.

We expect much of this clients’ growth to come from great ideas their team members generate, with their collaborative approach accelerating their delivery.
